Asbestos testing in Whyteleafe
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Whyteleafe, a survey covers more, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. Common materials are flue pipes, black adhesive and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and something broken during building work.
In areas like Whyteleafe, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:

- Access to the area
- The size and age of the building
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- The parking area
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After the job
File the results with your house paperwork, for future work or a sale.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
What to avoid
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Whyteleafe
Do you work near Upper Warlingham station?
Yes, we cover Whyteleafe, including the streets around Upper Warlingham station.
Do you cover Whyteleafe from London?
We cover Whyteleafe, about 13 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Weighing up your options
Home testing kits are available, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
